Revision as of 05:52, 3 January 2013
Hello Sims Wikians!
My name is Jorge and I am on Wikia's Community Development team. We've been working on forging a relationship with EA recently, trying to get you and other wikis some love directly from the game creators.
I figured now would be a good time to reach out to you, the community, to see what you might want from such a relationship. Is there anything in particular you would like to receive from EA? Official recognization, perhaps? Developer involved on the wiki? Etc.?
Of course we can't make any promises, but for the time being, I would love to hear any ideas or desires you might have (even if it means you want nothing to do with EA).
I look forward to hearing from you all!

I should however note that EA are apparently following us on Twitter though I'm not sure what effect that has on anything, but to sum things up: anything positive to come from this would be pretty beneficial.

- I think that if we formed a direct relationship with EA, it would probably be for the better. We would probably get access to better info and learn earlier about stuff like game releases and stuff packs and be entitled to more in depth content. Some people might disagree with collaborating with EA, but I'm all in.

- I want to be a bit more of a pragmatist regarding this potential relationship. I will be blunt in saying that many users here, myself included, have dogged EA in the past and may continue to criticize them in the future. If we were to be somehow 'official' or something to that effect, would that hinder the ability of users here to fully express their feelings (be it positive or negative) towards EA, its products, its actions, etc.?
